Skin Needling
Microneedling uses an electronic device with multiple tiny needles to puncture the epidermis (and sometimes also the dermis) in a precise, controlled way. The depth of these micro channels can be adjusted to suit your skin type and concerns. As these tiny wounds heal, collagen and elastin are produced, healing and boosting the skin from within. Skin needling can be somewhat uncomfortable, however numbing cream is used to minimise discomfort..

What can Skin Needling treat?
Skin Needling is the one-stop anti-ageing skin treatment! It stimulates the production of your collagen to create smoother, healthier skin. Skin Needling benefits include reducing the appearance of:
-
Acne scarring
-
Fine lines
-
Pigmentation
-
Enlarged pores
-
Scarring
-
Stretch marks
The results are improved skin texture, more even skin tone and an all-around healthy glow.

How often should I get Skin Needling treatments?
This depends on your individual treatment plan and your treatment goals. On average, we recommend 3-6 treatments with each treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Note, each person will vary slightly and our skin therapist will advise on the recommended number of treatments at your complimentary consultation.

SKIN NEEDLING SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after the procedure, it’s normal to experience redness, swelling and a small amount of bleeding. Your skin will feel similar to a sunburn and may become prone to itching in the days following your appointment. The most noticeable side effects should resolve within approximately 24 hours and the rest within a few days.
